Inspired by the Dr Sues thread on PC crashes I thought Mudcatters would rise to this so

No big deal, MS Word 5.1.3 shows all the anagrams of "Bill Gates" in the spell checker when you enter "glib steal" hit MS-escape, and then restart with the Tab key down;-)

Nice link, Bill.

I input my own name (well, I would, wouldn't I) and got six hits, "dourly macrame" and "modular creamy" being my favorites.

TOTALLY ANNOYING RICH GIT WHOSE BUSINESS METHODS HAVE PRODUCED PARTIALLY FUNCTIONING SOFTWARE WHICH HAS CAUSED ME YEARS OF UNNECESSARY SUFFERING is an anagram of the rather less polite epithets I use for this person. Please don't mention him again -I may have a nervous breakdown and be sent to a home for the bewildered.

Yeah... I just had a crash and burn. Got a new putter. Windows XP. What a fucking pain !!! One loooooong commercial for me to buy more crap from Bill and his buddies. And some of them can't be turned off !!! You're working along and up pops a "Please buy me". You say NO, but they keep coming back. I spent the better part of a day knocking out over 6G of adverts. Some even say, "If you uninstall this, other programs may not work properly." I'd like to give Billy Bob and his thug rednecks a PROPER thrashing.

AND, on top of that, the new IE crashes if you add a link to your favourites... GEEZE... what a piece of crap. You would have thought that the technowizards would have noticed that one. One step forward...

yeah...XP is the one that if you make any changes, and then need to re-install it, you have to CALL Bill and satisfy him that your reasons are good!...and under certain conditions, it will just quit working!.....I'm sure gonna steer clear of THAT bit of thuggery.

Thank you, Sonja--I want you to know that I didn't even know about,let alone use, the anagram site above--just me and a little number 2 pencil--well, a mechanical pencil, but with an incredible need to expose the truth about the arch-demon of software--

So glad that the hundreds of thousans of $$ that the U.S. spent on investigating Microsoft was put to good and effective use.

IF you use "Bill Gates of Microsoft" (which is only fair to any other poor sod carrying that name), you get some doozies, including "Comfortless, glib bit oaf". And "frolicsome soft lit gab". And:

formalistic goof blest
microsoft foist be gall
microsoft fog sell bait
O, I lift comfortless gab!

Silly, huh?

The BORING answer, if I remmber it right ... . How many was can you arrange "BILLGATES" ie 9 letters with 1 duplication ? It's (factorial 9) divided by 2 =181,440 . How many ways can you arrange "BILLGATESOFMICROSOFT), IE 20 letters, 5 twice,1 thrice It's (factorial 20) divided by((2x5)x(factorial 3)) = Dunno, numbers too big for the calculator, but you're going to need a LOT of pencils. . I MUCH prefer the other answers. . Hilary

The REALLY boring answer to the 2nd bit, (probably) is 1.2671364 times ten to the power 16. & should have said (2 to the power 5) above, not (2x5).

Sorry - all those maths classes in my youth !

Keep those pencils busy.
